Yeah, so, failure to babysit the db node that was scheduled for a reboot on the 5th resulted in a bit of database FUBAR that left us temporarily losing everything from then to now. Fortunately we had a backup less than six hours old, restored from it, and appear to be copacetic now. Except for the missing five hours and change.

I'd usually make some sort of dumb joke here but it was already four hours past my bedtime when I found out about the problem. My brain is no work good anymore. Fill in whatever dad joke or snark about getting a do-over for a change strikes your fancy.

    Also sorry for double post after a dramatic full stop, but in my last 25 notifications there are over 10 spurious spam/troll/flamebait mods.

    And if you recall I had my mod privileges revoked for a single misclick on the spam mod button, which was admitted to be an interface bug.

    And in the context, it appears to me in all of these instances someone wants my viewpoints slid and minimized in the thread view.

    I would not complain if it were simply disagree, which is what I think these people would say if they were for real.

    Using the spam/troll/flamebait mod as an offensive info weapon against those you disagree with should not be allowed, and combined with selective enforcement of this is a known tactic to drive away people you want to silence.

    Are you aware of this dynamic, which has been noted at just about every forum site? And that this is one of the last places I can even post without outright censorship? And that my views on these matters are basically centrism circa 1990?

    Your response will be telling, I look forward to it.

    You mean the emails that you made no claim of it being a misclick until several email exchanges had taken place and we'd said that it would have been revoked had it been a misclick? Yeah, excuse us for being dubious.
